Ya know, I really should be in bed. I should have gone to bed an hour ago, but I was laying in wait for my stepson to come home. I had three little chores for him.
\nFirst, I was moving pictures onto the zip drive for Mother’s digital picture frame when I managed to make one of them my desktop picture, three times. I love my niece, and this picture is a keeper, but it’s not a good backdrop for the icons. He showed me how to right click, choose properties and go to desktop to make changes! Now, if only I can remember that lesson when I do this mysterious goof again.
\nNext I asked him to figure out why some pictures just wouldn’t transfer to the zip drive. He spent about 45 minutes working at it, before he admitted defeat. I’ll try the new zip drive in the picture frame to see if those pictures will display. I’d like to have all the pictures on one drive, if I could, but I can live with it if we have to swap them periodically.
\nHis last chore was to carry a couple of things downstairs for me. He was two for three, and I can’t complain, given the time and effort he put in on my behalf.
\nWe’re getting close to Thanksgiving. I was ironing linens today. I still have a few to do, but the lion’s share are finished. I’ve counted glasses and silverware, and just about decided what will be used for centerpieces. My oldest sis is bringing some garland, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see a few other things in her bottomless bags. I’m sure the tables will be lovely.
\nEarly tomorrow morning, I’ll work on clearing my office desk. After Elegante Mother’s salon appointment, and a trip to the grocery to pick up the turkey, I’ll clear out the guest bedroom, and then organize my sewing table and bedroom. At that point we will be ready to begin cooking.
\nI’m going to make a pot of pasta e fagiole for dinner. Dear Husband will put together two large pans of lasagna, and I’ll bake dozens of rolls. We need to wash romaine for Caesar salad. I’d put together the broccoli casserole tomorrow night, but I think the turkey is going to take most of the room in refrigerator.
\nSoooooooo…maybe I need to hit the hay so I’ll be ready to face a busy day. I hope you’re all ready for the holiday. If I don’t make it back to the computer before Thursday, we wish you a happy Thanksgiving, filled with loved ones and joy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
